Hi all,
don't bash me because I hardly have any knowledge about BI but it so happens that I need to do a integration 3rd Party System <--> SAP PI <--> SAP BI.
3rd Party System calls a synchronous Web Service via SOAP that PI hosts. PI then also synchronously calls BI using a BEx Web Template with export format as XML.
PI gets back some XML in the like of this:
<BICS_VIEW> <SERVICE_DESCRIPTION> <VIEW_TEXT>BI: Einkaufsvolumen</VIEW_TEXT> <INFO_PROVIDER>ZHG01_MC2</INFO_PROVIDER> <VIEW>ZBI_CSS_001_VIEW_01</VIEW> <QUERY>ZBI_CSS_001</QUERY> </SERVICE_DESCRIPTION> <INFO_PROVIDER name="ZHG01_MC2" text="CO-PA: Umsätze und Deckungsbeiträge (Web)"/> <QUERY name="ZBI_CSS_001" text="BI: Einkaufsvolumen"> <DUE_DATE>20150312</DUE_DATE> <CREATED_BY>JOHNDOE</CREATED_BY> <CREATED_ON>20130305</CREATED_ON> <UPDATED_BY>SUPERDUPER</UPDATED_BY> <UPDATED_ON>20130306</UPDATED_ON> </QUERY> <VARIABLES> <VARIABLE name="ZCUSVAL" type="INFO_OBJECT_MEMBER" isStateVariable="false" text="Kunde"> <SELECTIONS> <SELECTION type="SINGLE_MEMBER"> <MEMBER name="9999" type="MEMBER" text="Some customer"/> </SELECTION> </SELECTIONS> </VARIABLE> ...
The XML is quite long and deeply structured, so above is only a excerpt.
My question is: Is there any way to get a XSD of this XML generated by BI? I don't want to use any web tools where I paste the current XML into and hope that the resulting XSD would also match the next XML which very well might be slightly different in structure.
Any insights on this would really be great. Sorry if I was a little unspecific with my wordings but I hope you get the greater picture anywhere.
Many thanks and kind regards
Jens
